We’re going to China. I feel so happy! Gao-xing, gao-xing, gao-xing!

I couldn't resist quoting Kailan as I have been singing this song since I received the shocking phone call this morning. About two weeks earlier than we would have thought to hear, we received the call that we have TRAVEL APPROVAL! These are the long awaited words you hope to hear every day when waiting to go hold your precious child. We leave August 10th, 2011. If you are counting you will realize that is exactly three weeks away......ahhhhhhhh! There is so much to be done. The number one question I get is "Who is going to China?"

Of course, Mommy and Daddy are going...duh!
and these loveleys are making their second trip to China.....

The hard part........leaving my girls......

and my boys :(
We are certainly not looking forward to saying goodbye for 15 days to our kids, it will be tough to say the least. We have wonderful friends and family who will love on them while we are gone but nontheless leaving them is by far the hardest part of it all.

but, they are not being left in vain, this beautiful princess is our reason and she is worth every tear we will shed!
